Camps that don't suck, for the most part:
Girl Scout camp-I had a lot of fun at one, in between 5th and 6th grades. Church camps within your denomination-UCC, UMC, etc., have camps.
The two best camps I ever went to: Interlochen Music Camp (in 1979) and Young Life's Frontier Ranch (1981). The former was serious, wake up at 6 am, play music from 8 until dinner, with a rec period in between. But it was great, the facilities were nice and the music program and teachers were terrific.
Young Life camp is an evangelical camp, but the place in Colorado I went to was just amazing. Mountain Climbing, rapelling, a ropes course, horseback riding, a hot spring-fed pool, waiters and waitresses in the dining hall, and so on. Every night, though, we got together to sing songs and they made an altar call. I was really into it at the time, so I had a great time. I can still picture the camp in my mind.
